Abstract
      The listening triangle, which is widely used in the field of negotiation, is a continuous cycle of questioning-listening-feedback to discover more benefits from a negotiation. Go has been known as “hand-talk” since ancient times, and as the name implies, it is a conversation with hands. The idea that it is possible to use the triangle of negotiation in Go came to mind from this simularity. In this paper, we propose the triangle of hand-talk, i.e. movement-interpretation-feedback which can be used reasonably in the game go to achieve better sense of the game's flow.
